Format
editThe 2008 format of the National Football League is a new system consisting of four separate divisions. There are eight teams in the top three divisions and nine in Division Four. Placings are decided by:
- Points (2 for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss)
- Score difference
- Total scored
- Head-to-head result between tied teams
The top two in each division play a final match to decide the division champions. The top two in divisions 2, 3 and 4 are promoted, whilst the bottom two in 1, 2 and 3 are relegated.
